Rehearsal today was interesting- things are getting deeper and it is pretty funny rehearsing with this drop-in centre type of structure, when people just kind of show up and work on their part. I have been through so many processes in which I was unaware of what the other people were doing, and I am glad that this ensemble can be there to witness each other in the periphery. Kind of like 3 year olds doing parallel play. It is also good since the material is dense and a bit of a downer sometimes. Most of the pieces have a spellbinding quality too and so it is nice to be able to share them with each other and see if it is working...
Kat and Michelle are building their connection in a frightening way- that piece really has the meat of the message. It is the anti-oil piece in a way, but it is turning out to be much more. I gave Kat the volcano and Michelle the Earth's crust as images to work through, so that when Kat erupts they get to really meet. In a once-a-millenium meeting...
Eryn and David just worked physical repetition and that is good because the piece will need lots of confidence to do it on cement with a loose audience. They are starting to look strong and intuitive together and to find new things in the choreography.
Met with Shawn tonight and went over the sound details so he can build- it is helpful that we know what we want as far as structure so clearly at this point.
I look forward to hearing his little angel voices next week! Very excited...
Also I got to meet our stage manager Tanya today which is going to be a HUGE relief in a week or two to not have to worry about!
